Abstract: Low-temperature combustion (LTC) is a new combustion mode, and low cetane number fuels may be more appropriate for the LTC. Fuel properties play important roles both in the physical process of fuel-air mixing and the ...

Abstract: The study aims to evaluate the combined effects of alcohols as additives to diesel and exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) on combustion and emission characteristics of a common-rail diesel engine. Tested fuels were prepared ...

Abstract: The influence of n-butanol additive and spark timing on the combustion process was studied in a gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine, as well as fuel efficiency and relevant performance indicators. Three concentrations ...
